This is a weird problem. I added a database to the app_data folder, but when I make updates and then run some reports the updates aren't shown. The database is updated, cause queries show the updates and I inspected the database. The updates however, aren't being reflected when I run the reports.
View 5 RepliesI've started with the development of a website which will use a sql server 2005 database. I want to use the asp.net membership and roles functionality. In the end the website will be hosted by a hosting company.
What is the best way to store the database? In the App_data folder or outstide the App_data folder?
Second, do hosting companies support placing sql server databases stored into the App_data folder?
I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express sample databases from 2 books, ASPnet 2.0 and ADOnet 2.0. The ASPNETDB.MDF was shown in App_Data and Database Explorer, but not in the SQL Server Management Studio Express. The AdoStepBy Step database created by a ConfigDB.exe was displayed in the Management Studio, but not in the App_Data, or Database Explorer.
Is this the way SQL Server 2005 runs the 2005 databases for SQL Server 2005 Express only? Or also in SQL Server 2005?
TIA,
Jeffrey
Why can I not connect to the database created under app_data folder with sql express and view the tables. I am trying to understand the structure of how it works, I have gone through the My personal web site starter kit's files to try and understand how it writes to the database.Why is the databse not visible in SQL express and why are the databases attached database files and not directly in SQL2005.

I found that we can keep .mdf file in App_Data folder and use the same database in our application.
so my questions are .
1.the database which is kept in app_code will work only with Sql Server Express Edition.
2.what will be my connection string in web.config.
If any one can help out that will be appreciate and put some more light about using the data base in this way.
or any article link will also appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi There,
I am using Windows XP Pro and I had SQL SERVER Express edition installed with Visual Studio 2005 ...whenever I go to ADD Database into APP_DATA folder it says
"Connecting to SQL Server files (*.mdf) requires SQL Server Express to function properly....." in SERVICES its running....later I've bought Developer Edition of SQL SERVER 2005 and installed on my machine but problem is remain the same...
What I want is to keep both the functionalities like to ADD file into APP_DATA folder and using SERVER Connection too...So whats the problem and why I am unable to ADD ".MDF" file ...

I'd be interested to know what the recommended methods are of implementing a SQL database using VS2005 standard and SQLExpress.
I previously used VS2003 and MSDE which allowed me to create a .sql script to create and populate a database.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it now appears that in VS2005 the preferred way of doing this is to create a SQLExpress database in the App_Data folder. This is fine, except that I can't seem to connect to this 'detached' database using SQLCMD when I need to run my .sql scripts to create the tables.
When I used MSDE, I used a command similar to the following:
osql -E -S(local)etsdk -dMyDatabase
Which connected to the 'MyDatabase' database. Now, with VS2005, if I create MyDatabase.mdf in the App_Data folder how would I connect to it using SQLCMD? I've tried:
sqlcmd -E -S(local)SQLEXPRESS -dMyDatabase.mdf
but this just tries to open a database in the SSQL.1MSSQLData folder.
I guess I'd like to store the database in the App_Data folder as it keeps everything together and will be easier when deploying a site to a remote host.
Thanks,Wayne.
Hi,
I have developed an application on the Intranet, but what I have done is dealing with the database directly using MS SQL Server 2005 server. But I have seen some people or videos where they create the database on "App_Data" folder.
I am going to develop online application on Internet this time, I should develop it offline on my machine. So, I have 2 questions foe now:
1) What is the right way to create MSSQL 2005 database? in "App_Data" or in MSSQL 2005 server?
2) When creating database in "App_Data" folder, is it going to be created automatically or shown on my MSSQL 2005 server?
Thanks,
I have a vb.net 2005 application and i created a SQL Server 2005 db inside my App_Data folder and I need to know how to connect to this database so that I can query it from my vb code. thanks

Hello!
I have created my self a person website in VS2008 using Linq and ahev downloaded a copy of sql express to use as my database when working on it at home.
I have just noticed, now I am trying to upload it to a server that my sql express is automatically creating the database in my app_data folder, this is causing me problems, as I don't want it to do this. I want it to be able to point it at a full version of SQL server.
Is there some setting I have missed? Of how can I stop tis automatic creation of the database?
Thanks

On my VWD 2005 Express, I have installed 2 SQL Server 2005 Express databases in the App_Data folder.I kind of remember these 2 databases were installed from Wrox web site or a zip file.

Hi all,
I have a stand-alone Windows XP Pro PC that has SQL Server Express (SSE) and Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) programs. The Microsoft "pubs" Database is installed in the SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE). I created a website in my VWDE program. I need the .mdf file of the pubs Database in the App_Data folder of website of my VWDE project. I think that User Instance in my SSE is established. I have studied Xcopy Deployment (SQL Server Express) and User Instance for a quite a while and I still do not know where and how to use Xcopy to get the mdf file of the pubs database into the App_Data folder of the website of my VWDE project. Please help and give me the detailed key steps/instructions about where and how to get the .mdf file of the pubs database into the App_Data folder of the website of my VWDE project via Xcopy.
Thanks in advance,

View 1 Replies View RelatedI have my first small SQl Server 2005 database developed on my localserver and I have also its equivalent as an online database.I wish to update the local database (using and asp.net interface) andthen to upload the data (at least the amended data, but given thesmall size all data should be no trouble) to the online database.I think replication is the straight answer but I have no experience ofthis and I am wondering what else I might use which might be lesscomplicated. One solution is DTS (using SQL 2000 terms) but i am notsure if I can set this up (1) to overwrite existing tables and (2) notto seemingly remove identity attributes from fields set as identities.I know there are other possibilities but I would be glad of advice asto the likely best method for a small database updated perhaps onceweekly or at less frequent intervals,Best wishes, John Morgan
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
How do I insert data that I have collected in a local database onto a table on my online ie hosted database which is on a different server?
At the moment I am just uploading all the data to the hosted DB but this is wasting bandwith as only a small percentage of data is actually selected and used.
I thought that if i used a local DB and then update the table on my hosted DB this would be much more efficient, but I am not sure how to write the SQL code to do this!
Do I do some kind of
INSERT INTO sample_table
SELECT xxx
FROM origanal_table
Or is it more complicated than this?
Thanks

I got thrown into a new project that is going to require me to update an SQL server database tables from an Access table on the backend of an Oracle database on another server. At the end of each day the Access dabase will be updated from the Oracle database.
What I need to do, is when the Access database is updated I need to have the table in the SQL database automaticaly updated. When a new record is added to the Access table I need the new record added to the SQL table. When a record is deleted in the Access table I need to keep that record in the SQL table and set a field to a value (such as 0). And when a record is updated in Access, have it updated in SQL.
Needless to say this is a bit out of my area and not sure how to accomplish this.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
i have sql 2005 installed on my personal machine, but our server has sql 2000 on it. the structure of my database was made on the server, but i'm not sure how to update the server copy from my local copy. when i try to export my data from my local machine to the server (or import from my local machine to the server), i get pre-execute errors.
roughly every other week, i'll need to be able to update the server version from my local version, so i'm trying to find the most efficient method. what is the best way to update a 2000 database from a 2005 database? it doesn't matter if i append or overwrite, but i do use identity fields. the error i get when trying to use the import/export wizard is:
- Pre-execute (Error)

If I already have SQL2005 installed, can I create SQL express databases for distribution in my app, or do I need to install SQLExpress to run side-by-side?
I actually had SQLExpress originally but upsized it to the full version. Now I want to be able to create portable DBs with my application.
And if this is possible, how do I go about creating the DB?
Thanks!
Hi All,
I have this error:
"System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Cannot open user default database. Login failed."
It occurred when my application try to access the App_Data, because I use Profile to store user data. I can connect to SQL Server just fine, but failed to access the App_Data. How to change the SQLExpress (because I assume that App_Data store its data in SQLExpress) username and password within the application?
TIA
I loaded an application to my server with the app_data folder intact in the application folder which is a sub folder of the root web.
Through my host enableing SQL somehow a second App_Data folder has been created in the root of the web and the db has been duplicated. Without a doubt this is causing a problem with the application not running correctly. The application is the asp.net membership app which is trying to read and write to the .mdf file.
Can we simply delete the App_data folder in the the root web or will this rebuild itself? Or do we need to edit the web config files?
How / Why did this happen?

I'm using VWD on the local box and WS 2003/SQL Express on the remote box.
The first time I upload the site, the upload works great. Later after uploading updates, new pages, etc. the upload still works great.
BUT.....when I try to upload anything in the App_Data folder, I get a copy error, access denied.
On a pre-existing site with App_Data ....How do you upload the App_Data folder or it's contents to the remote server?

Hello,
I have a application that has SQL database mdf file attached. The connection string is
<connectionStrings>
<add name="DBConnection" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:InetputwwwrootmyAPPmyDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True"/>
</connectionStrings>
The web application works in my local that has SQL server 2005 installed. After I moved it to web server that does't have SQL server installed, I got the below error:
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
Does that mean the web server machine must have SQL server 2005 installed to run the applicaiton? Usually we just directly connect to a physical SQL server. This is my first time use the mdf.
Thanks in advance!
